More News on Published Poetry

I do seem to be spending a lot of time at the moment editing and formatting my short poetry collections for publication on Amazon in paperback format. This of course is affecting the amount of time I have for new, original poetry. But I hope this process will be completed soon (after all I don't have that many books in hand) and that I will be able to get back to writing new material.

This post is to release the news that I now have a second poetry book available on Amazon. It is actually the first in the series but for practical purposes I published the second volume first, if that makes sense.

This new collection is based on older poems which I have edited and converted from song lyrics originally written in the sixties and seventies. I am surprised that the range of topics is as wide as it is considering their origin. That is not to knock the poems but simply to state that the range of themes is wider than the usual stuff of pop-songs.

You can see this book on Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk or alternatively I shall let you into a little secret - keep it to yourself - for a while it can be found on Scribd for free download. Same book different cover.

The table of contents, in four sections, is as follows.

POEMS ON ENDINGS AND LOST LOVESSILENT LADY
SING ME A SIMPLE SONG
REFLECTIONS FROM THE PAST
YOU WERE HERE ONLY YESTERDAY
MISTER WILLOW
MEMORIES

POEMS ON ATTITUDES TO LIFETHE WICKED MAGICIAN
PUT DOWN YOUR GUN
IS THE DAY TOO LONG? THE WATERFALL PATTERNS ON MY MIND YOU'RE IN A RUT BOY

A POEM
THE WIND

POEMS FOR CHILDREN
IF ALL MY FRIENDS COULD TALK
YOUR FURRY OLD FRIENDS

I have one more collection of poetry complete and ready for publication. I shall include details next time.
